I»ndon. Mny 12.—The (Jerman note to the T'nited States on the sinking of the Tyusltania arouwil much Interest— and at the same tlnic indignnlion-ln offlcirti circles here. .No fomial reply has heen l.ssued or mn be issued at this time, but the npiu'iidcd statement may bo taken as reiin'scnting thc Brit¬ ish offlclal view of the Berlin coinmu¬ nication:
As far bacit as last December Admiral von Tirpitz. the Oerman marine minister, In an interview foreshadowed a submarine blockade of Great Briti'.in. and a merchant ship and a hospital ship were torpedoed on Jan. 30 and Feb. 1 respectively.
The Oerman governnunt on Feb. 4 de¬ clared their intention of Instituting a gen¬ eral subm.irine blockade of Great Britain and Ireland with the avowed purpose of cutting off supplies for those islands. Thi.s blockade was put Into effiot on F'eb. 18.
As already stated, nieichant vessels had. as a matter of fact tieen .sunk by a Ger¬ man submarine at the end of January. Before Feb. 4 no vessel ct rry ing food sup¬ pliee for Germany had been held up by his majesty's government except on the ground that there* was reason to believe the foodstuffs Were Intended for use of thc armed forces of the enemy or the enemy government.
The Wilhalmina incident.
His majesty's governiueiit ha<l, however, lnfori1?ed the state department on Jan. 29 that they felt bound to place in a prize court the foodetufts of the steamship Wil- iielinlna, which was Koine to a C^ermaii port. In view of the govornmont control of foodstuffs In Germany, as being destined for the enemy government and therefore lialile to capture.
The deil.«loii of his majesty's govern¬ ment to c'lrry out the nioa.sures laid down by the onh-r in council was due to the ac¬ tion of the German govomment tn Ineist- ing on their submarine blockade. This, added to other infractitm.s of international law by (Jermany, led to British reprisals, which differ from tljij German aifctlon in that his majesty's govomment scrupulous¬ ly respect the Hv^ ,<jf noncombatants traveling aboard mercli.ant vos.'iels and do not even enforce the recognized iienixity of confiscation for a breach of the blockade, whereas tlie German policy is to sink en¬ emy or neutral ve.«sels at sight, with total dieregard for the lives of noncombatants and tlie properly of neutrals.
The Germans state that in spite of tlieir offer to stop tlieir submarine war in oase the starvfition plan was given up Great Britain lias _taken "even more strin- cent lilookade mcisuree. The answer to tliis is as follows:
It was not under.'Jtood from tlie reply cf t.he Geriii.iM government that they were prepared to nbandmi the principle of siiik- hig British vest'els by eubmariiie. Tliey li.ave refu.«ed to ah.'iiidon the usi- of mines for offensive purposcp on tiie high soa.x on any cni-.ditlon Thoy have oommitteO vari¬ ous other liifrriotioii.~ of international law. such as slrewir» the high seas and trade routes with mines, nnd British and neutral vessels wlll continuo t,o run danger from this courfie wlieiher Germany abandons "fher siibmarino bUnUade or not.
It should lie n( ticl that since the em¬ ployment of submarines contrary to in¬ ternational law tlie Germans have also been guilty of the use of asphyxiating gas. They have oven proceeded to tlie poisoning of water in South Africa.
The Germans represent British mer¬ cliant vessels generally as armed with guns and Jjiiy thoy repeatedly ram aulj- tnarlnes. The answer to this is as fol¬ lows:
Vessels Arm In Self Defense.
It is not to lie wondered at tliat mer¬ chant ves.sels. knowing they are liable to be sunk without warhing and without any chance lieing ({iven to those on lioard to save their lives, should take measures for self defense. With regard to the Lusltanla, the vessel was not armed on her last voyage and had not been armed during the whole war.
The Germans attempt 'to Justify the sinking of the Lusltanla by the fact that she had arma and ammunition on board Tlie presence of contraband on board a neutral vessel does render her liable to capture, but certainly not to destruction, with the loss of a large portion of her crew nnd passengers. Every enemy ves¬ sel Is a fair prize, but there Is no legal provision, not to speak of the principles of humanity, whloh would justify what can only be described as murder because a vessel carries contraband.
The Germans maintain that after re¬ peated official and unofflclal warnings his majesty's government wtre responsi¬ ble for the loss of life, as they considered themselves able to declare that the vessel ran no risk and thus light heartedly as¬ sume the responslblUty for the human lives on board n steamship which, owing to its armament and caryo, is liable to destruction.
The reply thereto Is:
First.-His majesty's government never ileclared the vessel ran no risk.
Second.—The fact that the Oermans is¬ sued their warning shows the crime was premeditated. They had no more right to murder passengers after warning them than before.
Third.—In spite of their attempts fo put the blame on Gn'at Britain it wlii tax the Ingenuity even of the Germans to ex¬ plain away the fact that It was a Oer¬ man torpedo, lired by. a German eea man from a oerman submarine that sank the vessel and • aused more thati I.OOT' deaths.
